Commitment

I was just flipping through the online version of the Harvest Times magazine, and this thing stood out to me: Life in God is a COMMITMENT.

Just as we daily (are supposed to) pray, read the bible, and be a good example in our lives, this also includes the 'little' things that you often neglect. A lot of people are plain lazy or have so much busyness in their lives that they choose not to go to church or cell group regularly, or when they can't make it, they don't bother to go for 'make up'. They created their lives in such a way that they can only sigh and say "no choice".

There is always a choice. It's just which choice you make.

Why I am always making it a point to go for cell group (or make up cell group), even though some people may ask me "Isn't attending church service good enough?", is mostly due to the COMMITMENT I have made to God. You want to do what God wants you to do, it means doing EVERYTHING, even if it doesn't make sense to you. Even if going to cell group or service is "wasting time" or "useless" to you. It's not about what it does for YOU. It's about what it does for GOD when you are obedient and follow through your COMMITMENT FULLY.

And this week's cell group message talked about how fellowship and cell group are important biblical principles.

My life does NOT revolve around my ministry. My life does NOT revolve around serving or just 'showing face' by attending events. My life is also NOT about 'fulfilling attendance quota' of any sort.

My life is ABOUT PLEASING GOD and FULFILLING MY COMMITMENT TO HIM FULLY, NO EXCEPTIONS.
